When particles emitted by a radioactive source pass through a magnetic field, it is found some...
Recall three things about acceleration: * a curved trajectory requires a (centripetal) acceleration * acceleration is a vector; it has a direction and a magnitude * the magnitude of the acceleration is a = F/ m Recall that a charged particle, moving at velocity v perpendicular to a magnetic field, experiences a transverse force F=qvB. Recall also that charged particles can be either positive or negative. Using pencil and paper, combine the two formulas above to obtain a formula for...
Five particles follow the paths shown in the figure as they pass through a magnetic field B, which is indicated by the dots or x's in the figure (dot = out of the page, x = into page). What can you conclude about the charge of each particle? (If your answers for charges of particles 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, are, respectively, +, 0, +, -, 0, then enter: +0+-0 into the computer.)
Five equal-mass particles (A–E) enter a region of uniform magnetic field directed into the page. They follow the trajectories illustrated in the figure. Which particle (if any) is neutral? Which particle (if any) is negatively charged? Rank the particles on the basis of their speed.
The number of particles emitted from a radioactive source during a specified period is a random variable with a Poisson distribution. If the probability of no emissions is 1/3, what is the probability that 2 or more emissions occur? ans: 2−ln 3 / 3 .
Alpha particles from a particular radioactive source have a speed of 1.35×107 m/s. How large a magnetic field is required to bend the path of the particles into a circle of 0.570 m radius? An alpha particle has a mass of 6.64×10-27 kg and a charge of 3.20×10-19 C.
3. The diagram below shows the trajectories of three charged particles moving in a uniform magnetic field of strength B. The field points into the plane of the paper. The particles are moving in the plane of the paper. The direction in which each particle is moving is shown by the arrows. (a) For each particle, find if the charge is positive or negative (Q>0 or Q<0). Q1: Q2: Q3: (b) Assume all particles have the same velocity (v) and...
Part A (Figure 1) shows the semicircular path through which charged particles travel in the magnetic field of a mass If the particles are oxygen ions carrying a charge of -2e and the magnetic field magnitude is 0.24 T, how long does it take each ion to travel the semicircular path through the magnetic field? The mass of an 02 ion is 2.6× 10 26 kg. Express your answer w ith the appropriate units. Figure 1 of 1 B into...
Which property is observed when a beam of charged particles is fired into a magnetic field? If the beam of charged particles is parallel to the magnetic field, no deflection will occur. The maximum deflection happens when the beam is perpendicular to the magnetic field. The magnitude of the magnetic deflecting force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge on each particle. The magnetic deflecting force is always perpendicular to the direction of travel of the charge and...
